Safe to say post Not Like Us has resulted in The West taking back the wave. Majority of quality rap releases this year were from the west or were west inspired. Then you got Snoop and Dre reuniting at the end of the year for the first time since Doggystyle.
The south’s run might really be over by next year
Unfortunately the south still has the radio on lock ….. don’t see how next year equates to the end of south’s dominance. Once West Coast Music starts dominating the airwaves and has the streams to back it up , they’re not going to dethrone the south. Yes they have more critically acclaimed albums, but that’s not enough. Unless when Kendrick drops he dominates the radio with his new material.
Yeah it is the drums. Our Long Beach sound is pretty much the same as the LA sound, which is mostly the same as the (B)ompton sound since a big part of the LA sound is the Crip sound. The LA and Long Beach sounds take a lot from the Bay Area party sounds
It’s all unified under 70s and 80s soul and funk, hence why so many acts from different California regions sample those classic eras of music. And we’re all unified under appreciation for the divine sun and good weather, so we always do our best to showcase that in our production and vibes
We’re big on homage and paying respect to predecessors, that’s why Cali sounds remain identifiable through every era. To put it plainly: we always honor the funk - and that happens in the drums cause it makes your neck snap and chest thump
thats real, i think gfunk has a whole entire other run tbh we need it
idiot
The Game collab’d with Tyler back in 2011. Schoolboy Q collab’d with Tyler in 2014. See how easy it was to debunk this ret@rded narrative you’re trying to pull?

they always been real ones that pusha collab was fire too
but you cannot tell me tyler was not being ostracized goblin and wolf days west coast did not claim him like yall do now
He gotta deliver with this one
What was mediocre in my OP? Also I know Doechii is from FL, but that had tons of West Coast influence too and she’s signed to TDE. Her project def counts as well
He gotta deliver with this one
Make or break for Roddy. He probably gonna have high profile west coast features i reckon

Bruh he was mentioned in the Control Verse. He was making big moves
Kendrick really should release an album this year. Im speaking on a pure selfish level of course

props to tyler for turning it around with his consistency

True, but a Roddy x Kendrick banger would def be a perfect way for him to make a comeback. Hoping he drops a great album regardless tho

I still bump a handful of songs from the antisocial album. Need him in that bag again
Oh okay my bad
Adin started it with them though he said f*** them they wont do s*** he’ll come to LA and they wont do anything and he said he’ll slap them then changed it to he’ll have his security slap them. I feel like the only reason they even did content with him and accepted his apology is bc hes white, if a black person woulda did the same thing they woulda took it way more extreme which is my issue with gangs
aight i take it back. he was talking reckless. thats wild
Tbf i feel he been respected since Flower Boy and that was 7 years ago now
yeah thats what did it for everyone
